here today that the Webb bill in its

WILSON HAS
A BUSY DAY
President Is in New
Jersey Fighting For
C oil's ti tutio na 1 Re
forms Blames Inter
ests For the Protest
Against the Tariff
Jersey ( ity. N J , May 3 President
Vll6on last night interpreted the fight
in New Jersey for Jury relorm and
constitutional revision, as a part of
the struggle of the American people
to obtain through the Democratic par
ly equal justiie to all and special
privilege 10 none. Though he made
no reference to legislative itolicies
pending in Washington, the president
Indicated that the protests being
voiced against the tariff bill were
those of the special interests and not
the masses.
"Some of my fellow citizens and
some of their colleagues in Washing
ton city," he said, "now think that
they are hearing the voice of the peo
ple of the United States, when they
are only hearing the part that has
become vocal by moving down to
Washington and insisting upon its
special Interests
"As I sit In my office In Washing
ton, there are windows only on one
side of the room, and those windows
look out on a part and the Potomac
river and the shores of Virginia on
the other side, and I cannot see Wash
ington from those windows, though
I sometimes think I can. because
Washington behind me is seething
with special representatives of little
things who are almost storming at the,
doors of this office, whereas, out h r
are the cool large spaces of the I'nited
Suites. And I would rather hear the
whispers coming In at these window-;
here than the strident arguments com
ing in at those doors."
The president spent a strenuous
day fighting for the reform which be
came to New Jersey to advocate. In
the Inst speech of his trip last night
applause and expressions of approv
al Interrupted him frequently as he
assailed the Influences in the Btate
which, he claimed, were managing
the populous country' for private pur
poses. The president early In his
remarks referred to the Incidents in
the legislative conference during the
noon hour, when Asscmbhman Ml
Dermott openly defied him and fired
such a series of questions at Mr
j Wilson that Acting Governor Feld- r
iuierened to prevent an embarrass
ing situation.
